Career and university management

[edit]

University of Poonch

[edit]

Abbasi served as the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, Director of Advanced Studies and Research, and Chairman of the Department of Agronomy at the University of Poonch, Rawalakot.[9] In 2014, he was appointed as the Vice Chancellor of the university, a position he held until June 2017.[9]

University of Haripur

[edit]

In June 2017, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, appointed Abbasi as the Vice Chancellor of The University of Haripur.[8] He assumed charge in the same month.[8] However, due to a new appointment opportunity arising in Azad Kashmir shortly after, he resigned from this post after serving for a few weeks.

University Of Azad Jammu and Kashmir

[edit]

In July 2017, Abbasi assumed office as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir[7] (UAJK) which is the region's largest central public university. He completed two consecutive terms in this role, retiring in 2025 upon completing his tenure.[10][11] During his tenure, Abbasi initiated several academic and structural developments at the university.

  • In February 2018, he started M.Phil degree programs in Urdu and Kashmir Studies.[12] He secured the 200 kanals of land for the development of the Neelum Campus.[12] Additionally, he also managed an 8 billion rupee grant from the Saudi fund for Development for the King Abdullah Campus.[12] During his tenure, King Abdullah Campus and Muzaffarabad's first Software Technology Park were completed.[13]
  • In October 2021, Abbasi represented UAJK at a national seminar in memory of Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Gilani[14] at the International Islamic University, Islamabad, alongside heads of ten other Pakistani universities.[14]
  • In December 2021, during his second tenure the Supreme Court of Azad Jammu and Kashmir dismissed a petition against Abbasi's appointment.[15] The court ruled that the petition had no legal merit and noted that he was already cleared of all allegations by the Ehtesab Bureau.[15]
  • In November 2022, Abbasi attended the First International Conference on Climate Change at the Islamia University of Bahawalpur.[16] As an environmental scientist, he spoke about the impact of climate change on Pakistan's agriculture,[16] nothing that the monsoon floods caused an estimated 30 billion dollar loss to the country.[16]
  • In February 2024, Abbasi attended the 53rd Syndicate meeting of UAJK.[17] Held at Kashmir House in Islamabad. Which was chaired by the University Chancellor and President of Azad Kashmir, Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry.[17]

Research work and scientific honors

[edit]

Abbasi is a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. This fellowship was awarded to him for his research on climate change and soil fertility.[18] He has written more than 100 research papers in international journals, focusing on soil erosion in the Himalayan region, nitrogen fixation, and natural fertilizers.[19][20] He also served as the President of the Soil Science Society of Pakistan.[21][22]

  • In 2001, Abbasi co-authored a study published in the Journal of Plant Nutrition about nitrogen dynamics in grassland soils[23], and in 2004, co-authored a field study published in Mountain Research and Development about growing White Clover in Kashmir pastures.[24] This was followed by a 2005 study published in Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science about integrated nutrient management for wheat crops.[25] In 2006, he worked on a study published in Bioresource Technology about using organic manure and microorganisms to increase cotton yields[26], and in 2008, he co-authored a microbiology study published in the World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology about isolating native nitrogen-fixing bacteria in Azad Kashmir.[27] In 2009, his study was published in Geoderma about how carbon dioxide levels affect soil nutrients in grasslands.[28] Later in 2012, he co-authored a field study published in the Agronomy Journal on splitting nitrogen fertilizer doses to maximize maize yields under rainfed conditions[29], followed by a 2015 study published in Biogeosciences on combining rock phosphate with organic manure to improve chickpea growth.[30] In 2017, he focused on a cropping system study published in Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science tracking micronutrient availability in wheat and soybean crops[31], and in 2018, he co-authored a study published in Microbiological Research on using Pseudomonas bacteria as a biofertilizer to reduce chemical inputs in sunflower crops.[32]

In February 2019, Abbasi was elected President of the Soil Science Society of Pakistan (SSSP) for the 2019–2020 term, securing 227 votes against his opponent's 80 votes.[21]
